Meet Honey. She is my selection for adoption.
Brian, one of the shelter volunteers, rescued Honey a year ago and she was kept in a foster home through the birth of her litter. She has been at the shelter since about February.
I was shown all the cats on my list and others that caught my eye and then I was left on my own to wander and spend time with any cats of interest. There were a few strong possibilities, but no one cat struck me as "the one" which was my prayer going in. As I headed back to begin another round of consideration, Robin, the volunteer who had helped me earlier, met me and said she suddenly had a thought as to a good cat for me and took me to Honey.
Honey seemed open to me right away and just *loved* to be petted to the point where she didn't want me to stop. I love her coloring and although she's large, she seems to be in good health. I felt she would fell comfortable in my apartment and with me.
The Vet visits the shelter weekly on Wednesdays and all adopted cats must get a final check-up before they can go to their new home. The timing of his visit prompted my visit to the shelter tonight. If all goes well I hope to bring Honey home this Saturday afternoon.
ETA: Honey's one eye seems unusual, but I think this is a photographic phenomenon; in person she seemed fine, or I didn't notice.

Honey is gorgeous! Congratulations on finding a little sweetie - I'm sure she'll love her new home and her new best friend.
(Incidentally, I don't know what name AOL signed me in under - this is HWG.)
GreenTuna, as you can see in the newly added photo, Honey does indeed have a body. She's a big beautiful girl!
